Set Idle Basic Parameters of Cell

Set Idle Basic Parameters of Cell(SET GCELLIDLEBASIC)
Function
Use this command to set basic call idle parameters of a cell.
Note
1. When the cell broadcast service is supported and the CBCH is CBCH+SDCCH8, the value of "Num
of CCCH blocks Rsved for AGCH" cannot be smaller than 1.
2. When the CCCH is configured as a combined CCCH, the value of "Num of CCCH blocks Rsved for
AGCH" ranges from 0 to 2. Otherwise, it ranges from 0 to 7.
Parameters
Parameter ID Parameter Name Parameter Description
Meaning: Type of an index.

IDTYPE Index Type
GUI Value Range: BYNAME(By Name), BYID(By Index)
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: BYNAME, BYID
MML Default Value: None
Recommended Value: None
Parameter Relationship: None
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (And no impact

on the UE in idle mode)
Impact on Network Performance: None
CELLID Cell Index Meaning: Index of a cell, uniquely identifying a cell in a

BSC.
GSM cells are uniquely but not necessarily consecutively
numbered within a BSC. For example, you can number a
GSM cell 0 and number another GSM cell 3.
GUI Value Range: 0~2047
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: 0~2047


CELLNAME Cell Name Meaning: Name of a cell. This parameter uniquely identifies
a cell in a BSC.
Cell names cannot contain the following invalid characters:
,;="'
In addition, cell names cannot contain two or more
consecutive %, two or more consecutive spaces, or more
than three consecutive +.
GUI Value Range: None
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: 1~64 characters

ATT Attach-detach Meaning: Attach-detach Allowed (ATT). If this parameter is

Allowed set to YES, when an MS is powered off, the network does
not process any call connection for the MS as a called
party. In this way, the network processing time and
resources are saved.
GUI Value Range: NO(No), YES(Yes)
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: NO, YES
Recommended Value: YES(Yes)


TX TX-integer Meaning: Tx-integer (T for short). This parameter specifies

the number of timeslots between two transmissions when
an MS sends multiple consecutive channel requests.
The access algorithm is defined in 3GPP TS 04.08 to
reduce the collisions on the RACH and improve the
efficiency of the RACH. The algorithm specifies three
parameters: Tx-integer (T for short), maximum number of
retransmissions (RET), and S related to channel
combination.
This parameter works with the configuration of the CCCH
to determine the parameter S. The relationships between
this parameter and the configuration of the CCCH are as
follows:
When this parameter is set to 3, 8, 14, or 50, S is 55 if the
CCCH and SDCCH do not share a physical channel.
When this parameter is set to 3, 8, 14, or 50, S is 41 if the
CCCH and SDCCH share a physical channel.
When this parameter is set to 4, 9, or 6, S is 76 if the
The timeslot for sending messages is a random value from
the collection of {0, 1..., MAX(T, 8)-1}.
The number of timeslots (excluding the timeslot used to
send messages) between two adjacent channel request
messages is a random value from the collection of {S, S+1,
..., S+T-1}.
When T increases, the interval between two adjacent
channel requests increases, and RACH conflicts decrease.
When S increases, the interval between two adjacent
channel request messages increases, and RACH conflicts
decrease, thus improving the usage of AGCH and SDCCH.

The access time of the MS, however, is prolonged and the
network performance is decreased when T and S increase.
Under normal conditions, an appropriate T value should be
used to ensure that S is as low as possible, and ensure
that AGCH and SDCCH are not overloaded.
GUI Value Range: TX_3(3), TX_4(4), TX_5(5), TX_6(6),

TX_7(7), TX_8(8), TX_9(9), TX_10(10), TX_11(11),
TX_12(12), TX_14(14), TX_16(16), TX_20(20), TX_25(25),
TX_32(32), TX_50(50)
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: TX_3, TX_4, TX_5, TX_6, TX_7,

TX_8, TX_9, TX_10, TX_11, TX_12, TX_14, TX_16,
TX_20, TX_25, TX_32, TX_50
Recommended Value: TX_32(32)

Impact on Network Performance: If the number of RACH

conflicts in a cell is large, T should be set to a large value.
If the number of RACH conflicts in a cell is small, T should
be set to a small value. The increase in T and S prolongs
the access time of an MS, deteriorating the access
performance of the entire network. Therefore, appropriate
values should be selected for T and S. When the network
traffic is heavy, the success rate of immediate assignment
is low if the sum of S and T is small. Therefore, the value of
T should be properly adjusted to ensure that the sum of S
and T is great. The default value 32 is used when the Abis
interface uses satellite transmission.
CBA Cell Bar Access Meaning: Used together with Cell Bar Qualify to decide
the priority status of a cell. Refer to GSM Rec. 04.08.
Cell Bar Qualify Cell Bar Access Cell selection priority Cell
reselection priority
NO NO Normal Normal
NO YES Prohibited Prohibited
YES NO Low Normal
YES YES Low Normal
GUI Value Range: NO(NO), YES(YES)

Unit: None
Recommended Value: The CBA function applies to special

scenarios. If this parameter is set to YES and Cell Bar
Qualify is set to no, only handovers are allowed in a cell,
and direct access of an MS is not allowed. This condition
applies to a dual-network coverage cell. For a common cell,
this parameter should be set to NO.
Parameter Relationship: The cell priority is determined by

both CBQ and this parameter.

CBQ Cell Bar Qualify Meaning: Used together with Cell Bar Access to decide
the priority status of a cell. See GSM Rec. 0408. This
parameter does not affect cell reselection but cell selection
only.
Cell Bar Qualify Cell Bar Access Cell selection priority Cell
reselection priority
NO NO Normal Normal
NO YES Prohibited Prohibited
YES NO Low Normal
YES YES Low Normal
Unit: None
Recommended Value: NO(No)
Parameter Relationship: The cell priority is determined by

both CBA and this parameter.

BSAGBLKSRES CCCH Blocks Meaning: BS-AG-BLKS-RES, indicating the number of the

Reserved for CCCH message blocks reserved for the AGCH. After the
AGCH CCCHs are configured, the value of this parameter
indicates the actual seizure rates of the AGCHs and the
PCHs over the CCCHs.
Unit: None
Recommended Value: 1

Impact on Network Performance: The setting of this

parameter affects the MS paging response and
performance of the system. A large value decreases the
number of paging blocks, paging capacity, and paging
success rate.
BSPAMFRAMS Multi-Frames in a Meaning: Number of multiframes in a cycle on a paging

Cycle on the sub-channel. In fact, this parameter specifies the number of
Paging CH paging sub-channels that a paging channel in a cell is
divided into.
In an actual network, an MS does not listen to other paging
sub-channels but its belonging paging sub-channel only.
For details, see 3GPP TS 05.02 and 05.08. The larger the
value of this parameter, the more the number of the paging
sub-channels in a cell, and the fewer the number of the
users belonging to each paging sub-channel. In this case,
the mean uptime of the MS battery can be prolonged. For
details, see the computing mode of paging group in 3GPP
TS 05.02. The larger the value of this parameter, however,
the larger the time delay of a paging message in a space
segment. Therefore, the average service performance of
the system lowers. Based on the principle of ensuring that
overload does not occur on paging channels, set this
parameter to a value as small as possible. You must
regularly measure the overload conditions of the paging
channels in a running network and accordingly adjust the
value of this parameter properly. A paging message in a
location area must be sent in all the cells within this
location area at the same time. Therefore, the capacity of a

paging channel of each cell in a location area must be the
same or nearly the same. The capacity refers to the
calculated number of paging sub-channels of each cell.
GUI Value Range: 2_M_PERIOD(2 Multiframe Period),

3_M_PERIOD(3 Multiframe Period), 4_M_PERIOD(4
Multiframe Period), 5_M_PERIOD(5 Multiframe Period),
6_M_PERIOD(6 Multiframe Period), 7_M_PERIOD(7
Multiframe Period), 8_M_PERIOD(8 Multiframe Period),
9_M_PERIOD(9 Multiframe Period)
Unit: 470ms
Recommended Value: 2_M_PERIOD(2 Multiframe Period)

Impact on Network Performance: If this parameter is set to

a large value, the number of paging subchannels in a cell
increases and the number of MSs on each paging
subchannel decreases. This can prolong the average
service life of MS batteries but increase the delay in
sending paging messages. Therefore, the system
performance deteriorates. If this parameter is set to a small
value, the number of paging subchannels in a cell
decreases and the number of MSs on each paging
subchannel increases. This is likely to cause the overload
on paging subchannels.
T3212 T3212 Meaning: This parameter specifies the length of the timer
for periodic location update.
Unit: 6min

Impact on Network Performance: If this parameter is set to

a smaller value, the paging success rate increases but the
load on the SDCCH also increases, thus causing
congestion on the SDCCH.
CRH Cell Reselect Meaning: Cell reselection hysteresis. This is one of the
Hysteresis parameters used to decide whether to reselect cells in
Parameters different location areas. Setting this parameter can avoid
an increase in network signaling traffic due to frequent
location updates and reduce the risk of losing paging
messages. For details, see 3GPP TS 05.08 and 3GPP TS
04.08.
GUI Value Range: 0dB, 2dB, 4dB, 6dB, 8dB, 10dB, 12dB,
14dB
Unit: dB
Actual Value Range: 0dB, 2dB, 4dB, 6dB, 8dB, 10dB,

12dB, 14dB
Recommended Value: 6dB
Service Interrupted After Modification: No (Impact on the

UE in idle mode)
Impact on Network Performance: The MS cannot respond

to the paging during the location update, decreasing the
call completion rate in the system. If this parameter is set to
a small value, ping-pong location updates occur, increasing
the signaling load on the SDCCH. If this parameter is set to
a large value, the MS cannot camp on an optimum cell for
a long time after entering a new location area.
PI Cell Reselect Meaning: Cell Reselect Parameters Indication (PI), sent on

Parameters the broadcast channel, indicates whether Cell Reselect
Indication Offset, Cell Reselect Temporary Offset in the SET
GCELLIDLEAD command, and Cell Reselect Penalty
Time are used.

Unit: None
Recommended Value: YES(Yes)

UE in idle mode)
Impact on Network Performance: The MS calculates C1

and C2 of the serving cell at a minimum interval of 5s.
When necessary, the MS re-calculates C1 and C2 of all
non-serving cells (neighboring cells). The MS constantly
checks whether a cell reselection is required by checking
following conditions: Whether the path loss (C1) of the
current serving cell drops below 0 within 5s. If yes, the path
loss is too large. C2 of an appropriate non-serving cell
exceeds that of the serving cell in 5s and the following
conditions are met: The C2 of a new cell in another LAC
minus CRH (broadcast in the system information 3 and 4 of
the serving cell) exceeds C2 of the serving cell in 5s. A cell
reselection is performed in the last 15s, and the C2 of the
new cell minus 5 dB constantly exceeds the C2 of the
serving cell in 5s. A better cell exists if the above conditions
are met. If a better cell exists, the MS reselects a cell, and
does not select the previous cell within 5s.
NCCPERMIT NCC Permitted Meaning: A set of NCCs of the cells to be measured by the
MS. This parameter is an information element (IE) in the
system information type 2 and 6 messages.
If a bit of the value of this parameter is set to 1, the MS
reports the corresponding measurement report to the BTS.
The value of this parameter has a byte (eight bits). Each bit
maps with an NCC (0~7) and the most significant bit
corresponds to NCC 7. If bit N is 0, the MS does not
measure the cell level of NCC N.
GUI Value Range: SELECTION0_PERM(Selection of 0

Perm.), SELECTION1_PERM(Selection of 1 Perm.),
SELECTION2_PERM(Selection of 2 Perm.),
SELECTION7_PERM(Selection of 7 Perm.)
Unit: None
Actual Value Range: SELECTION0_PERM,

SELECTION1_PERM, SELECTION2_PERM,
SELECTION7_PERM
Recommended Value: SELECTION0_PERM-

1&SELECTION1_PERM-1&SELECTION2_PERM-
1&SELECTION7_PERM-1

Impact on Network Performance: The most significant three

bits of BSIC for all cells map with the NCC. NCC Permitted
should be set properly to avoid too many call drops. The
MS does not report the information on the neighboring cells
in the network whose corresponding NCC bit is set to 0.
Therefore, this parameter should be set properly.
Otherwise, an MS during an ongoing call cannot perform
normal handover and a cross-coverage call drop occurs.
For details, see 3GPP TS 05. 08. During an ongoing call,
the MS reports to the BTS the signal information on
neighboring cells. A report covers a maximum of six cells.
Therefore, the MS should report those possible target cells,
rather than selecting cells only based on the signal level.
Generally, the MS does not report the information on the
cells belonging to other GSM PLMNs. This function
enables the MS to measure only those specified cells. This
parameter specifies the codes of the NCCs to be measured
by the MS. On the SCH, the system constantly transmits
the BSIC, the first three bits of which indicate the NCC.
Therefore, the MS needs to compare only this parameter
with the adjacent NCCs measured. Then, the MS reports
the matched NCCs to the BTS and discards others. The
setting of this parameter affects only those MSs during
conversation, as well as boundary handovers.
CRO Cell Reselect Meaning: Cell Reselect Offset (CRO), indicating a

Offset correction of the C2.
Proper setting of this parameter can reduce the number of
handover times, helpful for assigning an MS to a better cell.
In a special case that the PT is 31, the larger the CRO
value is, the lower the possibility of handing over an MS to
the cell.
Generally, do not set the CRO to a value larger than 25 dB.

The CRO with a too large value will cause uncertain states
in a network. The CRO values of the cells with different
priorities in a network are almost the same. For details, see
3GPP TS 05.08 and 04.08. The setting of this parameter
affects only the MSs supporting the protocol of GSM Phase
2 or a later version.
Unit: 2dB
Parameter Relationship: This parameter is valid only when

PI is set to YES.

UE in idle mode)
Impact on Network Performance: Setting this parameter to

an appropriate value can decrease the number of
handovers and help assign an MS to a better cell. If PT is
set to 31, the larger the value of CRO, the lower the
possibility of handing over an MS to the cell. Generally,
CRO is set to a value smaller than or equal to 25 dB. If
CRO is set to a too large value, the network will experience
unexpected problems.
Example
